Make a Field Required v 3.0 crm.[type].field.required.set

Choose a tool for developing with an AI agent:

use Alaio Vibecode to build an app for Bitrix24 from a task description without knowing any programming language. The agent writes the code and deploys the app to a server, with no manual hosting setup
use the MCP server to develop a REST API integration in your own project. The agent refers to the official REST documentation

Scope: crm

Who can execute the method: a user with the "Edit CRM preferences" permission in CRM

This method belongs to REST 3.0. The call specifics and response format of the new API version are described in the REST 3.0 overview.

The crm.<type>.field.required.set method makes a field required in the entire pipeline or at selected stages and returns the new configuration. For example, if the "Contract number" field is required at the "Approval" stage, an item cannot be moved to this stage in the card while the field is empty. The object type is set by the <type> segment of the method name.

Method Name for the Object Type

Object type	Method	Fields
Deal	`crm.deal.field.required.set`	Deal fields
Lead	`crm.lead.field.required.set`	Lead fields
Contact	`crm.contact.field.required.set`	Contact fields
Company	`crm.company.field.required.set`	Company fields
Estimate	`crm.quote.field.required.set`	Estimate fields
Invoice	`crm.smartinvoice.field.required.set`	Invoice fields
SPA	`crm.smartprocess<entityTypeId>.field.required.set`, for example, `crm.smartprocess1038.field.required.set`	SPA fields

For an SPA, the method name includes the type ID entityTypeId. SPA type IDs are returned by the crm.type.list method in the entityTypeId field. SPAs have field requirement methods regardless of the type settings. My company does not have these methods: for crm.mycompany.field.required.set, Bitrix24 returns the "Method Not Found" error.

The method name is written in lowercase: crm.smartinvoice.field.required.set, not crm.smartInvoice.field.required.set. If the name is written in a different case, the method returns the "Method Not Found" error.

Method Parameters

Required parameters are marked with *

Name `type`	Description
fieldId* `string`	Field name: a standard field in camelCase, for example, `title` or `opportunity`, or a custom field, for example, `UF_CRM_CONTRACT_NUMBER`. Field names are returned by the crm.<type>.field.list method
categoryId `integer`	Pipeline ID. When to pass it
requiredStageIds `string[]`	Stages at which the field is required, for example, `["DT1038_69:CLIENT"]`. How the parameter works

The categoryId Parameter

Bitrix24 stores the field requirement separately for each pipeline. Whether to pass categoryId depends on the object type:

Object type	categoryId
Deal, contact, company	Required. The default pipeline is set by `0`, other pipelines by their IDs from the crm.<type>.category.list method
SPA	Required. The pipeline ID is returned by the crm.<type>.category.list method. If pipelines are disabled in the type, the SPA has one pipeline and no pipeline methods. The ID of this pipeline is returned by the crm.category.list method with the `entityTypeId` of the SPA
Invoice	Required. The invoice pipeline ID is returned by the crm.category.list method with `entityTypeId` = `31`: REST 3.0 has no pipeline method for invoices
Lead, estimate	Not passed

If categoryId does not follow the rules in the table, the method returns an error with the text Invalid category ID.

The requiredStageIds Parameter

The requirement mode depends on this parameter:

not passed — the field is required at all stages of the pipeline, mode all. For leads and estimates, in the entire object type
a non-empty array is passed — the field is required only at the specified stages, mode stages
an empty array [] is passed — the method removes the requirement, mode none

Pass stages as strings and only from the categoryId pipeline. Deal and SPA stages are returned by the crm.<type>.category.stage.list method. Lead, estimate, and invoice stages are returned by the crm.status.list method. The ENTITY_ID value for it depends on the object type:

lead — STATUS
estimate — QUOTE_STATUS
invoice — SMART_INVOICE_STAGE_<categoryId>

Contacts and companies have no stages: for them, the method makes the field required in the entire pipeline.

The new configuration replaces the previous one. To add a stage, pass the entire list of stages again.

By default, REST 3.0 item methods do not check a requirement set by this method. For example, if a field is required in the all mode, the crm.<type>.add method still creates an item without this field, and crm.<type>.update moves an item to a stage where the field is required. To make the methods check requirements, enable the "Validate required custom fields in REST" option in the CRM settings.

Code Examples

How to Use Examples in Documentation

The new API call differs by adding the /api/ segment to the request URL:

https://{installation_address}/rest/api/{user_id}/{webhook_token}/crm.smartprocess1038.field.required.set

The examples make the "Contract number" field required at the "Approval" stage in pipeline 69 of an SPA with the type ID 1038. For a different object type, replace the method name according to the table above.

Request Validation Errors

Error Code: BITRIX_REST_V3_EXCEPTION_VALIDATION_REQUESTVALIDATIONEXCEPTION

Field	Error description	How to Fix
`fieldId`	fieldId must be a non-empty string.	Pass the field name as a string, for example, `"UF_CRM_CONTRACT_NUMBER"`
`categoryId`	Invalid category ID.	Pass `categoryId` according to the parameter table
`categoryId`	categoryId must be a non-negative integer.	Pass the pipeline ID as an integer of `0` or greater
`requiredStageIds`	requiredStageIds must be an array of strings.	Pass an array of strings. The method does not accept `null`: to remove the requirement, pass `[]`
`requiredStageIds[0]`	Required stage ID must be a non-empty string.	Pass stage IDs as strings, for example, `"DT1038_69:CLIENT"`
`requiredStageIds`	A required stage was not found in this context.	Pass stages of the `categoryId` pipeline. Where to get stages
`requiredStageIds`	Stage requirements are not supported in this context.	Contacts and companies have no stages. Remove `requiredStageIds` to make the field required in the entire pipeline
`fieldId`	Field requirement is not supported for this field.	Choose a different field: the requirement cannot be configured for `id`

Field Not Found

Error Code: BITRIX_REST_V3_REALISATION_EXCEPTION_FIELDNOTFOUNDEXCEPTION, HTTP status: 404

Field	Error description	How to Fix
`-`	Field `#FIELD#` was not found	Check the field name with the crm.<type>.field.list method. Standard field names are written in camelCase: `title`, not `TITLE`

Pipeline Not Found

Error Code: CONTEXT_NOT_FOUND, HTTP status: 404

Field	Error description	How to Fix
`-`	The field requirement context was not found.	Check `categoryId` against the parameter table

Access Denied

Error Code: BITRIX_REST_V3_EXCEPTION_ACCESSDENIEDEXCEPTION, HTTP status: 403

Field	Error description	How to Fix
`-`	Access denied	Call the method on behalf of a user with the "Edit CRM preferences" permission in CRM

Method Not Found

Error Code: BITRIX_REST_V3_EXCEPTION_METHODNOTFOUNDEXCEPTION, HTTP status: 404

Field	Error description	How to Fix
`-`	Method `#METHOD#` was not found	Check the method name: it is written in lowercase, for example, `crm.smartinvoice.field.required.set`. For an SPA, check `entityTypeId` with the crm.type.list method. My company does not have these methods

Statuses and System Error Codes

HTTP Status: 4xx, 5xx

The errors described below are returned by the REST API itself, not by the logic of a specific method. They can arrive in response to any method.

Status	Code Error Message	Description
`500`	`INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR` Internal server error	An internal server error has occurred. Retry the call, and if the error persists, contact the server administrator or Bitrix24 technical support
`500`	`ERROR_UNEXPECTED_ANSWER` Server returned an unexpected response	The server returned an unexpected response. Retry the call, and if the error persists, contact the server administrator or Bitrix24 technical support
`503`	`QUERY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` Too many requests	The request intensity limit has been exceeded
`429`	`OPERATION_TIME_LIMIT` Method is blocked due to operation time limit	The method is blocked because the request resource intensity limit has been exceeded. The block is lifted automatically once the accumulated execution time of the method no longer exceeds the limit
`401`	`NO_AUTH_FOUND` Wrong authorization data	The request contains no authorization data: neither an access token nor a webhook code was passed
`401`	`INVALID_REQUEST` Https required	Methods are called over the HTTPS protocol only
`401`	`OVERLOAD_LIMIT` REST API is blocked due to overload	The REST API is blocked due to overload. This is a manual individual block. To have it lifted, contact Bitrix24 technical support
`401`	`ACCESS_DENIED` REST is available only on commercial plans	REST API access is not active for this account. In Bitrix24 Cloud, check the current plan or trial status: Vibe+ plans include REST API access, while Essentials plans do not. A webhook receives a different error message — `REST is available only by subscription`
`401`	`INVALID_CREDENTIALS` Invalid request credentials	No active webhook with the specified user identifier and secret code was found
`404`	`ERROR_METHOD_NOT_FOUND` Method not found!	No method with this name was found. The name is misspelled, the method does not exist in the REST API, or it is unavailable without the required scope
`401`	`insufficient_scope` The request requires higher privileges than provided by the webhook token	The request requires broader permissions than the token has: for a webhook these are the permissions granted to it, for an application it is the scope. For an application, the error message ends with `provided by the access token`
`401`	`expired_token` The access token provided has expired	The access token has expired
`401`	`user_access_error` The user does not have access to the application	The application is installed, but the Bitrix24 administrator has granted access to it only to specific users
`403`	`PORTAL_DELETED` Portal was deleted	The public part of the site is closed. To open it on an on-premise installation, disable the "Temporary closure of the public part of the site" option. Path to the setting: Desktop > Settings > Product Settings > Module Settings > Main Module > Temporary closure of the public part of the site
